Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Calgary – Transfer to Banff

Upon arrival at Calgary International Airport (YYC), guests will be greeted and transferred to Banff via our regularly scheduled shuttle service. We recommend you to arrive to later than 1PM. Private transfers are available if needed. Settle into the cozy and welcoming Three Peaks Banff BnB, nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.

Day 2: Lift-Accessed Skiing at Sunshine Village + Avalanche Training

We kick off the adventure at Sunshine Village Ski Resort, known for its deep snow and stunning alpine terrain. The day begins with a mandatory Avalanche Companion Rescue training session, ensuring all guests are familiar with backcountry safety protocols. Ski options include groomed runs, Delirium Dive (conditions and ability-dependent), and slackcountry laps accessible from the lifts.

Day 3: Backcountry Skiing – Lake Louise, Hwy 93, or Field

Today we head toward the Lake Louise area for our first full day of guided backcountry skiing. Depending on conditions, we'll explore powder stashes along the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) or venture into lesser-traveled terrain near Field, BC. Expect a mix of alpine bowls, glades, and stunning views.

Day 4: Backcountry Skiing – Rogers Pass or Yoho National Park

Gear up for big terrain today as we explore either the legendary Rogers Pass or lesser-known gems in Yoho National Park. With deep snowpack and iconic lines, this region is a backcountry skier’s paradise. Your guide will select the best location based on weather and avalanche conditions.

Day 5: Classic Backcountry Touring – Rogers Pass

Another day in the deep as we return to Rogers Pass, this time targeting one of its classic touring zones. Whether it's the Asulkan Valley, Balu Pass, or another signature area, expect a full-value day in world-class terrain.

Day 6: Lift-Accessed Adventure – Revelstoke Mountain Resort

Enjoy lift-served vertical at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, home to North America’s longest lift-accessed vertical drop. We’ll make the most of the resort’s steep runs and, for those interested, dip into slackcountry terrain accessible from the top lifts. This is a great day to enjoy terrain with minimal skinning.

Day 7: Travel & Touring – Revelstoke to Kelowna

Today is a travel day, but we make it count with a ski tour en route. Options include a short morning tour in the Revelstoke backcountry or a zone in the Monashee foothills like the Gorge. After skiing, we continue to Kelowna and settle in for a relaxing evening.

Day 8: Departure from Kelowna (YLW)

After breakfast, we provide transfers to Kelowna International Airport (YLW) for your flight home but only in the morning arounf 9-10AM. If you want to go after at the airport, you can take a taxi in case. Depart with tired legs, great memories, and hopefully a camera full of powder shots.
